Sod the spoiler, someones nicked ya front wing!

Sorry, couldn't resist.

I've never seen a small spoiler like that before. Looks like the standard type but smaller.
Wonder if the car came without the original spoiler or if someone didn't like the large one...

Last time I was there, Japvillage had a couple knocking around

I believe it could be a GT4 spoiler, JIC had a black Supe with a smaller spoiler on and we decided it was a Celica GT4 spoiler.

Better angle

no wonder you dont like your spoiler it looks weird. i am sure there must be loads on here with aftermarket trd spoilers who still have a stock spoiler for sale.
nice work area out of the british weather and you got something to do over winter. the bonnet looks well how much was it and where you get it from?
looking good

keep us posted with more pics of work in progress.and do you have any better pics of your bonnet.

have fun

bonnets a sore point , bought it of ebay in the usa (£200) got a quote of £180 + duty to ship it , got my measurements wrong and got a bill for £430 shipping and duty and it was slightly damaged in transit , what sort of pics do you want i'll take some more . just ordered the intercooler today and the pipework , think im gonna throw the fan and coupling away and go for a couple of pacet electric fans , that way i can take the turbo outlet pipe straight down and not thru the inner wing , also gonna fit twin auto box coolers , one in each corner , hoping the nose cone will be here soon , should have it all back together by the weekend .

you not messing about there are you.you got big plans for it then?
any pics of bonnet would be good if you can email any thanks
also send me any info on the tranny coolers if you will sounds good for racing.have you been looking into torque convertors in uk.mines off road now too want to get some bits for mine while its in bits.

thanks

mark

havent looked into converters yet they are a bit of a black art , the stall depends on a lot of diff. factors , weight how much and how an engine makes power get it wrong and it will sound like you are driving round with a slippy clutch , in the usa they do something called a 'switchpitch' converter that only has the characteristics of hi-stall when you arm a switch but i dont know if it will take the power , im getting some yank mags soon and will look into shift kits etc . By the way if anyone hears of one i need a rad or if any one knows of a bigger one that will fit (i can get mine cored but not for another month,no-one makes replacment cores yet but found a firm thats tooling up ) Mark like i said a 10 inch converter for a th400 is about $300 up for our cars they start at £700 so with some looking i may find some better priced ones . got to go to work now will take some more pics of the bonnet today .
John:stupid:

[MONKEYmark]

thanks john
just been to work today to do some overtime and the clowns have mixed shifts up and i went home.so got day to potterabout on car.i will look for info on torque convertors and let you know of any links or info i find

thanks again

mark

ps dont work too hard :)

Hmmm ..... rear spoiler height.........interesting subject young Jedi !!

When we were spending our weekends at JIC, myself and Emma noticed that there seemed to be a difference in the height of some of the stock looking spoilers.

If i remember rightly the fact that a car was an aerotop had a bearing on things. I wonder if Toyota fitted a slightly lower spoiler to aerotops for some reason. Or maybe there are more Supra's out there with non OEM spoilers than we think.

[Bradb]

You do indeed need a big one. Just like me. I'm surrpised Deano isn't biting your hand off for a swap.

[dude]

Brad
Deano's got busted when the bodyshop took it off the car !!!!!!
John:stupid:

[Bradb]

Hahhah. No wonder.. I'd be ill as feck, if I had to shell out for some stock kit again.

Saying that if my spoiler went missing, or summat happened to it. Stock everytime.

Where as I just can't wait for my stock exhaust to go... :rolleyes:

[Gaz Walker]

Why don't they pay for another one then. £800 please.

Then he can buy some more mods with it :)
